Currently running Fedora Core 4 on a Pentium 4 CPU. CTX 19 inch flat screen.

Had Mandriva recommended to me in a previous thread since I could not get Mplayer or VLC installations past dependancy issues.

Downloaded Mandrivia 2006 3 CD set and burned my ISOs. I boot off of ISO disk 1, and the CD spins. My screen, however, goes to "signal out of range" -- which I can live with if Mandriva would do something eventually -- but after a while the CD disk 1 stops spinning and I can see and do nothing.

MD5 checksums are okay. These are good burns.

What am I doing wrong? I want to wipe out the Fedora Core 4 install and put the Mandriva there, but I can't do it if the Mandriva installer for disk 1 does nothing and I can't see anything. I wind up taking out the CD and booting up FC4, which boots fine.

Thanks for any advice.

After it begins to boot from CD can you see the first boot up screen?
Either way, try using F1, this should switch you to text mode where you can define boot options. boot: vgalo will start graphic install at 640x480, boot: text will run install using menu driven options.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Wildar.

Now I can SEE where I'm failing.
